CATHERWOOD ON STRIKE!
Two Thursday night chats were wonky because Catherwood wasn't working...
And the reaper hasn't been listing the person's name or manner of death for ages now...he's also fixed.
Here are the fragments, without a link list or Rogue's Gallery

||||||||| Catherwood re-enters the Waiting Room and explains "This is the main discussion room which is logged each night."
||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:33 AM - I now declare Monday's chat log for June 29, 2020 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'RedPillTweeny', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 10:29 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with DJTweeny close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 3:54 PM tree-stunting plans, and rushes off to the Aviary.
||||||||| New notice: '** There will be a Firesign Theatre/US Plus Stimulcast starting at 9pmET this evening. **

||||||||| At 8:34 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, DJTweeny!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Rufus_T_Firetween enters at 8:34 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and rushes off to the Hat Pack Annex.
||||||||| 8:34 PM: DJTweeny jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
